    Sennheiser PX 100-II

    Anyone know anything about these/where to get them? They were announced on Sept. 2nd and are supposed to be available in the U.S. sometime this month. However, this month is over in about 2 days, so...what's going on? My PX 100s just broke so I figured I'd wait until these are released, but if...

    Good calibration tool for HDTVs?

    I was wondering what a good calibration tool would be for HDTVs? I've seen the Spyder3 TV on Amazon for ~$100 and felt like that was not a bad price for a calibration tool I would be able to use well into the future and on friends'/family members' TVs. Then I started to read things about...

    BenQ V2400 Eco - New LED Backlit Display

    V2400 and V2200 are 24" and 22" displays. http://www.benq.com/press/news.cfm?id=2471&cat=1&year=2009 With Samsung's XL2370 looking like it won't be released in America as soon as we thought it would (not an unexpected turn of events), this is good news. Presumably TN. For those who loathe...

    Firefox Consuming 70-80% of CPU?

    This has been happening for a few weeks now (or at least that's when I started to notice). I just updated to 3.5.2. Actually, I did a fresh install of 3.5.2 and still have the problem. I still kept all of my ad-ons, but I'm not sure what's happening because I tried it in firefox's safe mode and...

    Import Excel Spreadsheet into Oracle 10.2.0.4

    Hey guys, I've been searching around for awhile now on how to import an Excel spreadsheet into an Oracle table but I'm coming up empty handed. I'm have an internship and my manager has given me this challenge. I've only taken 1 database class in school, and it was about MySQL. I am somewhat...

    Sennheiser HD218/HD228/HD238

    These look pretty new. Does anyone have any experience with them? They look like Sennheiser's response to the Bose over-the-ear overly-priced headphones. I saw 1 review for the 218 and 1 for the 228 on Newegg; they were both 1/5 eggs and pretty negative. Then again, I don't really trust...

    APC BR1300/1500LCD: Good surge suppression?

    Hey all, I've done some searching around the site and the internet and I'm trying to figure out if certain APC UPS's will offer what I'm looking for. I can get a nice discount on APC UPS's with my employee discount at BBY (actually cheaper than their Geek Squad counter parts which I'm...

    HD-555s w/ headphone amp or new soundcard

    I've been the proud owner of the HD-555s for a bit now and am already craving better sound haha. I got them for $106 shipped and just recently sent in the rebate stuff for $30 back so I'd say $76 is a great deal for a pair of Senn's hifi headphones for a college student. However, I've noticed...

    In-ear headphones for <$90?

    So I have been thinking of investing in a pretty decent pair of in ears within my budget. Keep in mind I have an employee discount at best buy (shures?) I was thinking of ultimate ears. Also I'm looking for a well rounded sound. I definitely want some bass but I love clear mids and highs...

    Best circumaural headphones for <$200?

    I've been searching and searching and can't decide. The Audiotechnica ATH-ES7s are fairly cheap, stylish, and comfortable looking; however, I keep seeing reviews stating that the sound is lackluster in the mid-range. A lot of people praise the Sony MDR series, but I've never been a fan of Sony...

    Best 92mm HSF for Q6600?

    I hate the stock Intel HSF. Long story short, what's the best 92mm HSF for a Q6600? I don't think I can fit anything over 92mm since my Enermax Uber Chakra has that ginormous 250mm fan protruding a few centimeters into the case right over the CPU

    Small desktop speaker stands?

    So I've been looking for something to hold up my Swans M10 satellites, but from what I can tell most speaker stands are floor stands which are relatively large. I'm looking for something that I can put on my desk to keep my sats raised up. I've seen some small fixed wooden stands, but they don't...

    Swans M10 problem...

    I just got my swans m10 this morning. They're great except for the fact that the left speaker is "buzzing" and distorted when it plays certain frequencies on certain songs. It's very noticeable and annoying. It makes it sound all grainy. It's mostly on songs with mid piano sounds or mid bass. I...

    Best Clip-On or Neckband ('Street Style') Headphones...

    I know these headphones aren't very popular among audio enthusiasts, mostly because over-the-head cans will always reproduce sound better. but I'm looking for a casual and portable headset in this form factor (clip-on or behind-the-neck) that reproduces sound well enough...not like crappy...

    Really annoying MoBo buzzer!

    I have a GA-P35C-DS3R. Sometimes it gets pretty cold in my apartment, and when this happens my computer shuts off the CPU fan until it warms up again. I want my mobo to warn me if my CPU fan ever shuts off because it breaks or something, but I don't want it to warn me when it shuts off because...

    Best time to build a new PC?

    I know that by the end of this summer, I will have made plenty of money to build a new tower to my liking. My question is, how long should I wait to build it (sometime in the near future after August)? August? October? December? When will things such as DDR3 and Quad-Core processors be making...

    Vista refusing to boot

    I'm saying that my brother's computer is completely effed by now. He let it crash and reboot like 20 times in a row, apparently due to a faulty nvidia driver for his 6800. Now it doesn't get to a boot screen. It stays on the black screen where it gives you options for safe mode, last known...

    Aspire 550w...dead?

    My brother's PC just crapped out for no reason. It was working fine when he was at college. He drove 5 hours through Ohio, got home, plugged it in, and when he went to turn it on, all the lights and fans powered up for half a second and then immediately powered down. Then, everytime we pushed...

    Vista stopped detecting my CD/DVD drives HELP!!

    On 4/26/07, Vista randomly stopped detecting my CD/DVD drives. I used my CD burner a day or two before that to burn a video for my project, but now it won't work. Device manager says "Windows cannot initialize the device driver for this hardware. (Code 37)". I uninstalled the devices and let...
